The Non-Traditional Student Organization Scholarship

A scholarship of at least $500 is awarded to an active NTSO member each spring and fall semester. The scholarship is based on organization participation and volunteer hours. The student must be a member for at least one long semester to be considered for this award.

Informal Tutoring

We have members that are in just about every major offered at Texas State. If you come in with a problem on homework or a concept from lecture, there is probably someone in the lounge that can help you. There is no cost for this because our folks are nice enough to do it for free! Just come to the lounge asking for help and someone will try to help. If we don't know the answer, we can direct you to someone who can!

Informational Network

Our large member base also serves as a nice information center for a variety of assistance that includes:

Locating available housing
Inexpensive dining
Computer assistance

Computers/Reference Library

In the NTSO lounge, we have the latest computers for our members to do homework/projects and check e-mail. In the NTSO reference library, we have books, videos, CD-ROMs, and cassettes that have been donated by NTSO alumni and NTSO supporters. Several members, who do not sell their books back to the bookstore, offer to let other members use them temporarily.

Social Support

We are a social support organization. If you have a problem, someone in the lounge will be a willing listen and try to help you work through it. We have a wide range of experience and can help you get through your college experience.
